€ 12,36 for 3 kg
Piedmont is one of the regions with the oldest tradition of apple production in Italy, even before South Tyrol. There are still cultivated varieties that have disappeared in other regions. The territory of the Varaita Valley is ideal for their production. River lands that extend in a valley that narrows more and more as it climbs towards the mountain and the Monviso group. Particularly breezy climate that prevents the proliferation of pests and thus drastically reduces phytosanitary treatments. The young people of Monvisotta implement hormonal sexual confusion and then, through traps, manage to conduct their apple orchard cultivation activities. The environment is clean, in the valley, and at altitude. These are the first early apples! The quality that arrives first in this valley, anticipating the more well-known ones like Royal Gala.
The Royal Gala apples have yellow and red stripes, depending on where the sun has hit the skin. They are particularly sweet and juicy. They remain crispy for quite a long time when stored cool and well at 1 to 8 °C, even up to 180 days. They have a nice acidity but stand out for their intense flavor and sweetness. These are of higher altitude so the acidity is higher and therefore they are more suitable for fruit salads, for traditional apple-based desserts where the wedges can maintain a better crispness even after cooking. We also recommend them to enhance your lettuce and cherry tomato salads. Pair them with fresh goats' cheese!
